Marco Antonio Rodriguez-Diaz, Jr. (born June 19, 1980), better known by his stage name Infamous or DJ Infamous, is an American Grammy award winning record producer,[1] and three time world champion winning DJ. Infamous, was a founding member of The-Allies DJ Crew (DJ Craze, DVLP and A-Trak) and is perhaps best known for his work with American rapper Lil Wayne.[2] Infamous has produced songs for prominent recording artists such as Drake, Jay-Z, Meek Mill, Fat Joe, Nas, Game, Lupe Fiasco, Charlie Puth and Kendrick Lamar, among others. Although his current discography consists predominantly of rappers, Infamous is a multi-instrumentalist, who was once the guitar player and songwriter for rock band Antenna (formerly signed to Columbia Records), before meeting Lil Wayne.[3]
